Here's some hints:

  • you won't need any numbers in the code you add, since they have been assigned to variables
  • in your code, you will work with the variables by name
  • you have the right idea to use parseInt, but you need to use it on the correct variable (name)
  • parseInt takes only one argument
  • you may want to do a math operation using the result of the parseInt and the other variable

I'd also point out one additional hint: your variable is misnamed. Check the instructions for what they want the variable to be named :sparkles:
